The metal tungsten was known as “the damned black iron” for years. Eventually, it became a boom that saw 22 mills flourish near Nederland Colorado - all processing the locally mined tungsten. In great demand during WWI, tungsten was used to harden and strengthen steel. During the boom, local tungsten mines and mills produced over 60% of the tungsten used by the US. Named for the metal and a favorite of peak-baggers, Tungsten Mountain located in the Indian Peak mountain range, soars to 8,927’ above sea level. Back in the day, the now defunct town of Tungsten boasted a population of 20,000 folks. It is currently one of Colorado’s famous ghost towns!
